i dont think this is even coming out with it being a month away also texas chainsaw massacre 40th anniversary edition blu-ray from warner/new line is supposed to come out the same day and we dont have no info at all

A friend recently picked up the disc of 2/3 and we popped it in briefly -- I thought it looked fine. What are the "serious issues"?

Mostly color timing issues. I prefer the look of the films as they were always intended theatrically, and how they they were presented on VHS and on DVD.

For starters, from Nightmare 2...

For some reason, the picture has gone from a blue hue to a red hue. I prefer the original.

Also, based on screencaps from Nightmare 4, and the fact that only a month ago, I saw an actual original 35mm print in a theater, I can confirm that the dark picture depicted on the UK Blu-ray is NOT how the film was presented theatrically. Someone at Warner Bros. fucked up.

To hell with the UK Blu-rays, and to hell with the R1 set if it uses the same faulty transfers.

Yeah, no kidding. A million-dollar franchise popular the world over and we can't get a halfway decent release. I don't know what's worse: the UK getting a (better?) release more than a year before the U.S. or the fact that the studio is so indifferent.
